I need to apply for a building or fire protection system permit, what is the procedure?
The Fire Marshal Division does not review or issue permits. The Department of Inspections and Permits accepts applications for permits and conducts plan reviews as necessary for issuance of permits. Questions regarding permit application procedures or permit status should be directed to the Department of Inspections and Permits. The Fire Marshal Division conducts inspections for commercial permits after issuance upon request by the applicant. Requests for Fire Marshal inspections must be made by calling the Fire Marshal Division directly at (410) 222-7884. If after normal business hours, please leave a message stating the type of inspection needed and the address of the inspection.
